Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Here it's sayin that Q is a point in between the end-points P & R. If we join P & R , it forms a line segment & Q is in the line segment PR. Hence PQ & QR are also line segments which combine to form line segment PR. So ,

PR = PQ + QR

Putting the given values of PQ ,QR & PR

=> 4x - 12 + 2x + 7 = 31

=> 6x - 5 = 31

=> 6x = 31 + 5

         = 36

=> x = 36/6 = 6

The given problem is very confusing since it was copy pasted directly from the source so the equations look scrambled and plus it was one words. After my own translation, I believe the given numbers are:

4 ⋅ 10^6

and

1 ⋅ 10^4

The symbol ⋅ means that the two numbers are multiplied while the symbol ^ means an exponent of. Now we are asked to find how much the 1st number is larger than the 2nd number. To solve this, we simply have to divide the bigger number by the smaller number. Since 4 ⋅ 10^6 has bigger exponent than 1 ⋅ 10^4 then it is the bigger number.

Ratio = 4 ⋅ 10^6 / 1 ⋅ 10^4

Ratio = 4 ⋅ 10^2 = 400

Therefore 4 ⋅ 10^6 is 400 times bigger than 1 ⋅ 10^4.
